My little project is getting bigger! As I sanded off gelcoat to inspect lots of spiderweb cracks it became obvious this boat needs some serious fiberglass repair work! I would like to use polyester laminating resin with 1708 fiberglass to repair the holes and then cover the entire sanded off area with 1.5 oz chopped strand matting for stiffness before re-gelcoating. I haven't done much fiberglass repair so this is all youtube knowledge.......
Anyone know if I can get away with polyester resin below the waterline? I assume the hull was epoxy resin - did Livingston use epoxy or some other resin?
If you have dug into your Livingston and repaired the fiberglass I'd like to learn from you.
Thanks!
